1. The Indus System is one of the largest river basins of the world, covering an area of 11, 65,000 sq. km (in India it is 321, 289 sq. km and a total length of 2,880 km (in India 1,114 km). 
2. The Zaskar river, Suru river, Soan river, Jhelum river, Chenab river, Ravi river, Beas river, Satluj river, Panjnad river are its major left-bank tributaries. 
3. The Shyok river, Gilgit river, Hunza river, Swat river, Kunnar river, Kurram river and Kabul river are its major right-bank tributaries.
4. The Indus river drains into the Arabian Sea near the port city of Karachi, Pakistan after forming a huge delta.
5. The Indus river follows a long and straight course in Ladakh, running between the Ladakh and the Zaskar ranges. The gradient of the river is also gentle here. It forms a spectacular gorge near Gilgit(at Bunzi, north of Nanga Parbat) in Jammu and Kashmir. After crossing the Himalayas, it turns into south-west and enters Pakistan near Chillar in the Dardistan region. The river has developed antecedent drainage in the state of Jammu and Kashmir. Finally, the river emerges out of the mountains near Attock where it receives the Kabul river on its right-bank. The river receives the Panjnad a little over Mithankot. It flows roughly southwards until it drains into the Arabian Sea near Karachi after forming a huge delta.
